You know, while I admire your ambition, there's such a thing as learning to walk before you run. Why don't you at least sit down with some of the great works on political philosophy, or go get yourself an advanced degree in a related field before you start thinking like this? Fourteen is too young an age to be constructing utopias, you should be out playing spin the bottle and rebuilding your skateboard.

It's a cross between Huxley and summer math camp.

It sounds like the Bush family philsophy, only with "having a high I.Q." in place of "being white and having a big fortune".

As was stated above, this topic has nothing to do with existence of god(s). So, as my first act as an EoG mod, I will send it to my old hangout, MD, where I am sure it will receive lots of (hopefully constructive) criticism.

Trebax, it's good to know that there are people as young as you are that have enough interest in governing society to attempt to build utopias. So please, don't be too discouraged when our more experienced members shoot holes in your ideas- as a cynical old man (46) I fear that there can be no perfect way to govern human beings, because human beings aren't perfect!

Added- it's philosophy, not philosphy. You can correct that by going back and hitting 'edit' on your first post, allowing you to change the thread title, Trebax.
